Among this group of gangsters, Feng Boliang's status has always been second only to Rong Xiao, so this farewell party before the assessment is also quite lively. Everyone was drinking, playing cards, or singing, and had a lot of fun.

Among them, only Rong Xiao is a little unsociable. didn't join the carnival team, just sat alone on the sofa in the corner, occasionally checking the jade slips, and more often drinking a glass of stuffy wine, looking very lonely.

"Why do you feel that the boss's interest is not very high today?" a junior brother noticed his abnormality and asked others in a whisper.

"What do you say?" the other person threw him a "puzzled" look, "Sister Liang is leaving, can he be in high spirits?"

"Oh-I see, I see!" several people glanced at each other, and each of them showed ambiguous smiles.

The farewell party lasted for several hours, and in the evening, the group walked out of the tavern and stepped onto the motorcycles parked by the roadside. Rong Xiao's footsteps were a little slow, he glanced at the pedestrians shuttling, was silent for a long time, and suddenly as if he had made up some kind of determination, he threw away the cigarette in his hand, raised his head and said lightly:

"Ryoko, can I walk with you alone?"

Hearing this, all the junior brothers were in an uproar, and they were the first to answer: "I understand, I understand, then we won't bother!"

"Boss, have fun with Sister Liang!"

Although everyone usually plays together, and Sister Liang is also a recognized sister-in-law in their minds, the time the two spend alone is really not much. And the boss's thoughts about Sister Liang are clearly expressed, but the two sides have never really taken that step. For a long time, the two parties were not in a hurry, but they were in a hurry to break their group of little brothers.

Now that Sister Liang is going to participate in the assessment, it seems that the boss has finally opened his mind and is going to confess to Sister Liang! It's just because of his thin skin that he has to deliberately avoid everyone. Although it is inevitable that there are some regrets that we cannot witness this historic scene in person, the lifelong happiness of the boss is the most important! In contrast, these "light bulbs" of theirs, let's put aside for the time being.

Feng Boliang didn't know what medicine was sold in Rong Xiao's gourd, but she didn't think much about it, and after waving goodbye to the little brothers, she chewed bubble gum casually and followed his footsteps.

"What are you doing, do you want to invite me to dinner alone while they don't know? I know that Brother Rong Xiao is the best for me!"

Rong Xiao didn't pay attention to her playfulness, his hands were in his trouser pockets, his arms were tense, the broken hair on his forehead was sprinkled in front of his eyes, and his steps were unusually heavy.

"Ryoko, can I ask you a question?"

After Feng Boliang nodded, Rong Xiao spoke again.

"Can you tell me who you are?"

Feng Boliang was stunned, and then punched him on the shoulder angrily, and scolded with a smile: "Hey, you are stupid!"

Then, her expression quickly changed, pretending to be an injured and resentful woman, and she grabbed Rong Xiao's clothes "pitifully".

"Brother Rong Xiao, tell me honestly, how many wild women have you met outside, and you can't even call my name?"

Rong Xiao was not moved by her spoof, the five fingers in his trouser pocket slowly straightened, took out the jade slip that he had been holding tightly, and handed it to her with a cold face.

Feng Boliang took it curiously, looked at the picture on the screen, and saw that it was the one he took casually when he was pre-selected. In the photo, he is facing the camera with a bright smile.

"What's wrong? Isn't this the picture I sent you earlier?"

Rong Xiao didn't answer, Feng Boliang looked at it more carefully, and was suddenly stunned. In the background of the photograph is the large sofa in the luxurious private room, and you can vaguely see the elaborate wall behind it, which naturally exudes a solemn and noble atmosphere.

"Although I don't know the situation in the examination room, but depending on the environment, this is at least the inner sanctum. Rong Xiao smiled bitterly, "People like us, do we seem to be able to get the quota recommended by those big forces?"

It is precisely because of her care that every time she takes a random selfie, she will look at it very seriously, and even just by observing the sky behind her, she can remind her to bring an umbrella or add a thick dress. And this time, it's no exception.

It's just that what he discovered by accident wasn't what he wanted to see.

Feng Boliang's brain spun quickly, and in just a moment, he pulled up a look of disapproval: "Oh, don't you know me yet? Of course I slipped in! In order to strengthen his persuasiveness, he deliberately raised his elbow and hit him, "I can't see this, is there any tacit understanding?"

"It's not just that. Rong Xiao interrupted her hard work, and a heavy haze, which he had been trying to hide today, began to slowly climb up his body. It made him look like he was standing in a backlit shadow.

"After seeing this photo, I thought carefully that although you are always on call every time there is an action, we never know where you live. Also, no one knows where the limits of your strength are. There are many more, and I don't want to list them all. ”

"Actually, if you're serious, we don't know anything about you except that your name is Ryoko. If you're really statused, that's an explanation. ”

"Maybe you didn't want to see us as friends. It's us who climbed. ”

He didn't want to say these sour words. But when you suddenly find that you don't know anything about the girl who has always been close to you, such a sense of disparity is really devastating.

And in Rong Xiao's heart, there is another deep fear. He kept praying that things don't go in the worst direction -

Feng Boliang still wanted to cover it up at first, pulling and pulling all the way, plus rolling and selling cuteness, after all the tricks failed, she sighed and stood still in place.

"Okay, I see. ”

Facing Rong Xiao, who turned around, she smiled hard and raised a hand to reach out to him.

"Nine Shadows Hall Feng Bo Liang, reacquaint yourself?"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, splitting him from head to toe.

“…… Nine Shades Palace?"

He had imagined that she had many identities, and he had also thought that she might be the young lady of some big power, but he still didn't expect that the truth would be like this.

"Heh......" had a stronger sense of failure than before, which made Rong Xiao's mind completely confused. Turning to lean against the railing, with a wry self-deprecating smile, he lit a cigarette again.

"No wonder I've been around for so long, I've been fine, no one has ever dared to make trouble, it turns out that when I didn't know, there was already such a strong backstage around me. ”

Before he could bring the cigarette to his mouth, Feng Boliang snatched it up.

"Hey, are you despising me or yourself, and if I really want to rely on the power of the family, do I still need to come out and mess around?"

"You can get this far, it's all up to you, I'...... Even if it has something to do with me, it has nothing to do with the Nine Shadows Palace!"

"If we weren't like-minded people, could we have been together for so long?

These words were half angry and half angry, but when it came to the last sentence, it took a sharp turn and came with an unexpected humor.

Even Rong Xiao was amused to laugh, and turned his head a little helplessly: "Didn't I invite you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the embarrassing atmosphere in front of them seemed to have been resolved a little.

"Then please do it again now!" Feng Boliang borrowed a pole to climb up, and put his hands on his shoulders respectively, "I want to eat barbecue on the corner of the street!"

Rong Xiao still remembers that although everyone has eaten a lot of snacks together, Feng Boliang is the only one who has a soft spot for barbecue. Every time, she always adds a lot of chili powder to the kebabs, and just like the amount of alcohol she has on top, she is also very spicy.

Every time she visits a barbecue stall, she buys them in batches. In the end, the part that can't be eaten can only be packed and taken away by yourself. As a result, his dinner often turns into a barbecue inexplicably.

Over time, some girls even thought that he liked to eat barbecue, so they sent a lot of skewers, which made him cry and laugh.

Actually, he doesn't have anything special to eat. Eats too much barbecue, maybe it's just because the girl he likes likes to eat.

"Then if I ......" took the cigarette back from her hand, Rong Xiao stared at the burning cigarette butt of Mars, swallowed "I want to be with you", and changed his words without a trace, "If you want to enter your circle, do you have to participate in the Tiangongmen assessment?"

Feng Boliang smiled and nodded at him seriously and encouragingly.

Rong Xiao sighed. In fact, he is different from most people, what he pursues is not to be famous in the world. In the past, in the academy, he openly provoked his mentor and rebelled against the rules, not to show off, but just that he wanted to live freely and live completely according to his own wishes.

Tiangong Gate, he never wanted to enter. Although it will be a good opportunity to achieve fame and fame when you get there, when you are really at the top, it is inevitable that you will lose yourself in the face of power and desire. He doesn't want to be involuntary in the future, he just wants to have a simple position that is enough to settle down, so that the girl he loves will not suffer with him.

However, Ryoko's identity as the Miss of the Nine Shadows Hall is like the sky that lies among them. With her current status, she is not worthy of her at all. Even if she did, she wouldn't. After all, he's not a soft eater. He didn't want others to think that he was pursuing her and being with her just because of his identity.

As the Heavenly Saint School Bully, the boss sought after by everyone, he has never looked down on himself like this. In the past, in the academy, he never cared about other people's fingers, but now, he really felt inferior.

If you really want to be with Ryoko in the right name, you must have a status that matches her. And the first step is to enter the Tiangong Gate first, right......

Rong Xiao was silent for a long time, watching the cigarette in his hand burn red one by one, and fall inch by inch, until the last cigarette butt was also shattered in his hand, leaving only a ground of ashes on the ground, he sighed softly and dusted off the cigarette ash between his fingers.

"Oh well. ”
